Re-Engineering in COBOL.

[syannigeri]

Hi Team,

Is there any ideas to do Re-Engineering in Mainframes?

I know a few.. Like
1. Compilet option to TRUNC(OPT) from TRUNC(STD)
2. Using FASTSRT in cobol compiler
3. To move corresponding values, Than to use Initilize ( Initilize is more costly than move corresponding)
4. If there is a array, Initilize the array and then move the value, Also use depending upon CLAUSE.

Can everybody share there Ideas on Re-Engineering in COBOL?

Thanks

Hello,

Suggest you define what "Re-engineering in COBOL" means to you/your organization. . .

Re-Engineering Mean, Saves in Mainframe CPU usage time?

Hello,

Saves in Mainframe CPU usage time

That would more often be known as tuning. . . Software or business process reengineering encompasses much more than code tuning.

If there is some problem process you want to make run better, and you post enough specific information, someone may have a suggestion about how some resource utilization (typically i/o or cpu) migh tbe reduced in your problem process.

application Re-Engineering ( programs, operations, jcl, data flow ) is a term used to define ...
all the activities needed to modify an existing application to meet the changed business needs
anything else would not be considered as such

anythoughts on this??

Not until you provide more information. . .
